Garlic Butter Herb Steak Bites with Potatoes
My steak-loving son is always begging for steak every single week. He loves steak and potatoes, and I love easy meals, so it is a win-win situation! This meal is so delicious, though, that everyone loves it, even those who normally prefer chicken or pork.
These small steak bites are covered with a delicious buttery garlic herb sauce that brings the most delicious flavor. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Plus, this is a one-skillet meal which means that since everything is cooked in the same pan, you get a blend of all of the flavors all at once. Trust me because this isn’t a recipe that you want to miss!
Ingredients in Steak Bites
These garlic butter herb steak bites pack a punch with the flavor, and yet achieving that delicious taste is so easy! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
- Olive Oil: You will cook the steak and potatoes in this.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe.
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: Once you slice these up into quarters, then they will be the perfect size to complement the steak bites.
- Garlic Cloves: You can use minced garlic if you don’t have fresh garlic cloves on hand. 1/2 teaspoon equals about 1 clove of garlic.
- Dried Thyme, Rosemary, and Oregano: These dried herbs bring together a delicious aroma of flavors.
- Sirloin Steaks: The better the cut of steak, the better your meat will turn out!
- Salt and Pepper: These enhance all of the flavors in the steak bites.
Let’s Make Garlic Herb Butter Steak Bites
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and then add olive oil and butter, potatoes, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Cook for about 3 minutes, stir, and cook an additional 3 minutes until fork tender. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Add Steak: Turn the skillet to high heat. Add the steak bites. Let the steak sear for a minute, and then continue to stir the steak until they are golden brown.
- Garnish: Top the steak with fresh chopped herbs (optional).
Do I have to use Sirloin Steak?
No! You can use other steaks in this garlic herb and butter steak bite recipe. You can substitute with a tenderloin, or New York strip steak.
Storing Leftovers
These garlic herb and butter steak bites make delicious leftovers, and I love having them for lunch or dinner the next day! You can store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. Then, when you are ready to reheat them, cook them in a skillet on low until they are heated through.
Sides to Go With It

Do you use fresh herbs? Or dried?
Fresh is best but dried herb do work as well.
I’m making this for my hubby for a lunch and I have to say the potato’s take longer than 6 min . I did not have any rosemary but it came out delicious any way 4/5 stars
I have beef cubed steak Im gonna use & will just used canned potatoes so there isnt any cooking time issues…
Beef tenderloin will make this recipe very tender. Go to your butcher, meat shop or meat dept at the grocery and ask for filet ends. This is the part of the tenderloin that’s too small to cut into a steak.
My new favorite dish! I did find the potatoes took much longer to cook and the garlic burned while they cooked. Next time I’ll add 1/2 the garlic towards the end of the potatoes cook time. And the balance with the steak. I also added mushrooms. Delish!
Just found the recipe! Can you used dried herbs instead of the fresh cut?
Yes, you can use dried herbs instead.
I always pre-boil potatoes before browning with meat. Also dry them off extremely well before adding to the iron skillet with the herb butter. AMAZING!!!!
Can you use chicken instead of the steak meat
Yes, it will be a bit different in the flavor and taste but still really good.
After cooking the steak , do you put potatoes back in the skillet. It only says to put on the side while you cook the steak.
Yes, that is correct.
Had this tonight. It was good but will cook the potatoes in the oven next time. Also will marinate the steak. But other than that the kiddos liked it.
Can chicken be used instead of beef?
Yes, that will work just fine.
It was pretty good, but depending on how many people you are cooking for, your potatoes WILL NOT take 6 minutes… Which honestly is a crazy short amount of time anyways. It took me 30 minutes, also prep time is not any where near 5 minutes. It took me at the very least 15+ I used filet mignon that was really good with it. Have never heard of steak being referred to as “golden brown” though so that was strange. Overall, would make it again, maybe try sirloin next time and see the difference! Also, I feel like the recipe asks for a really small amount of butter, I ended up using more.
I was about to say the same things… I used very small baby potatoes cut in half (like quarter sized) and it still took me about 25 minutes to cook the potatoes! Plus with cutting the potatoes, tenderizing the meat and cutting into pieces and getting the spices all ready it took me about 30 minutes to prep everything. Steak cooked pretty quick, had to use more butter like you mentioned. It was very good, and will make again but I’m retyping the recipe and printing with the tweaks I made.
I nuke my potatoes in the microwave for 4 minutes. I use bakers. Let them cool and then the skin peels away easily and the potatoes are about 75 percent cooked. I just diced and they finish cooking with the steak. Easy peasy!
This was yummy and fast , made it for my anniversary dinner at home ❤️
I do think next time I will add the herbs and garlic toward the end of cooking so they don’t overcook or scorch . I might also parboil the potatoes prior to sautéing .
Can you substitute red potatoes for the Yukon gold potatoes?
Yes, they will take a bit longer to cook.
Looks delicious. What alternate can we use instead of steak bite. Im asking in Vegetarian.
Anyone?
Mushrooms!?
Make some seitan and chop it up? Cook the same way as you would the steak. There are plenty of videos on youtube about how to make/season seitan if you do not know about it and are interested. It’s a wonderful meat substitute texture-wise but definitely needs seasoned correctly or it is bland 🙂
Anybody try this recipe in the crockpot then brown it in the broiler before serving it.
Just made this with ribeye and it was delicious. Marinated the meat in Worcester sauce for a few hours, drained and patted it dry before cubing. And lots of extra butter
